This tight course is loaded with many picturesque views. Water hazards (two ponds) come into play on three holes. Some of the fairways are hilly, but all of them are bordered with a medium-to-high cut of rough. The signature hole is #3, a downhill 342-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot down a dogleg right fairway with a pond on the left, then an approach shot to a green that slopes from back to front. Stephen Kay redesigned one hole in 1990. There are additional sets of tees that can be used when playing an eighteen hole round.

Nice Course, May 27, 2004

reviewer: Stan from Newburgh, NY

Nice conditioned course with tight fairways. Harder than it looks. Great for playing 9 and not losing a whole day. Decent price when playing as a guest b/c the club is private.

Evergreen Country Club
"Best Golf Course."
I have never played another golf course like this one.

Sandpiper Golf & Country Club
"A nice short course"
I have played this golf course for the last 10 years, 2 to 5 times each year at various time, usually in the winter. Sandpiper is a short course with plenty of par 3's and short par 4's. The layout makes for a slow round on the front side on a busy day. It usually opens up on the back, which is the better 9 holes. Greens are in good condition year round. Course gets more play in the winter when the ajoining retirement community is fully occupied. Long hitters have no advantage as any long drive (250 or more) puts you too close to the greens. Use irons and 4 woods off most of the tees. Any drive 200 yards down the middle is great for this course. Some holes feel too close to the homes. Can be a real challenge when windy.

Harpeth Hills Golf Course
"challenging"
A challenge to any golfer. Play it from the back tees and it is all you can handle. Seems like your hitting the ball uphill all day long. A true test of your golfing ability! A well maintained golf course with quick greens.

"Great track"
I love this course. Have probably played it as a guest about 8 times and every time I'm done, I can't wait to get back. Played it 2x last summer ('03), when there was a lot of rain out East, and despite that, still enjoyed it. Fairways are among the best conditioned I've ever seen. Greens are in great shape-- and not too big, so you get a lot of makeable putts, but there are a lot of subtleties to them. As for the layout, get your pars and birdies on the front 9 because the back is brutal. One is a straight out Par 5 and you think "this isn't too bad". Get off the tee straight on two. Four is a very good hole. 6 is a sneaky tough par4 dogleg left, and nine is a 450 yard par 4 (blue tees) that gets you geared up for the back. Not a bad hole on the back nine, plus it takes you out of the holes that wind through office buildings and puts you into wetlands. A lot of carry. Par 10-12 and you are ready for 13, a long par 4 with a 2nd shot carry to a green that is impossible to it and impossible to putt. The member I play with is a 5 handicap and he always says--"take your bogey and smile". 14-17 are no gimmes and 18 is a par 4 that demands a 250 yard tee shot, but this leaves you a 170-200 yard uphill approach from a downhill lie to a green that has more break than any other on the course. Clubhouse is nice, but doesn't seem big enough. I've been there on Summer Friday's and it always seems like they need more space. Food is awesome though.
